F. H. H. Calhoun, Ph.D. Dean and Professor of Geology SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING the founding of Clemson College in 1889, the Chemistry Depart- ment was formed. The first Chemistry Building was erected in 1890, three years before the college formally opened its doors to students. Ten years later the building was enlarged to the present structure. The first faculty, consisting of Col- onel M. B. Martin and Dr. R. N. Brackett, re- ported for duty in 1891. In 1933 the School of Chemistry and Geology was formed, and the present dean, Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun, succeeded Dr. Brackett. The first and most important objective is to turn out MEN OF CHARACTER, for men of character develop into GOOD STUDENTS. It has been found that men of character and honesty of purpose are always conscientious, hard-working, honest students. Given good students it is pos- sible to turn out GOOD CHEMISTS thoroughly trained in fundamentals, whose adaptability, hon- esty, cooperative spirit and loyalty will be an asset not only to themselves but to everyone with whom they may be associated. ilF «p b I )- Hun -Brackett, Lippincott, vlhoun, Pollard, Latimer Second Row — Huntir, zurBurg, Mitchell, Sharpi Page 25

K D. W. Daniel, M.A., Litt.D. Dean and Head of the Department of English THE SCHOOL OF GENERAL SCIENCE FROM THE FOUNDING of the college until 1914 the president of the college served as head of the Academic Department. Beginning in 1914, heads of divisions served as acting directors. In 1918 the present Dean was made director. The name of the department was changed to Arts and Science in 192S and to the School of Gen- eral Science in 193 2. Until 1 92 S , this was a service department, but since that time it has also offered a four-year course leading to the Bachelor of Science degree and three-year pre-professional courses lor those who wish to prepare for medicine, law, dentistry, etc. The personnel of the faculty of the School of General Science is made up of teachers who have had special training in their respective fields. All have degrees from colleges and universities of recognized standards and all have done post-grad- uate work in universities. Seven of the staff have the Ph.D. degree, nine have the M.A. degree, and all others have the B.A. or B.S. degree. Rou Rhyne, 1 1 i .

S. B. Earle, M.E., LL.D. Dean and Professor of Engineering SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING COURSES IN MECHANICAL and Electrical Engineering were offered when Clemson opened for students. The course in Civil Engineering was added a few years later, followed shortly by the course in Architecture. These courses have been popular from the beginning. Many of the graduates have made remarkable successes, some of them of a national character. It is the purpose of this school to fit men for the various fields of engineering and architecture. Particularly in the early days, few engineering positions were available in South Carolina. This condition has gradually im proved so that many of our graduates now reside in the state and it is our hope that our graduates may, after they have had some ex- perience, develop a varied industry in South Caro- lina. Results along this line have been gratifying, but we are hoping to further develop the engi- neering possibilities of this state. Whether the graduate follows engineering or not, the engineering curricula offer excellent edu- cational training, whatever the man ' s life work may be.
